Q.

Two cylindrical rods A and B made of different materials, are joined in a straight line. The ratio of lengths, radii and thermal conductivities of these rods are: LALB=12, rArB=2 and KAKB=12. The free ends of rods A and B are maintained at 400 K, 200 K, respectively. The temperature of rods interface is ________ K, when equilibrium is established.           [2025]


Ans.

(360)

R1=l1K1A1, R2=l2K2A2

dQdt=TR

(dQdt)1=(dQdt)2

400TR1=T200R2

400TT200=R1R2=(l1l2)(r2r1)2×K2K1

400TT200=12×(12)2×2=(14)

1600 – 4T = T –200

5T = 1800  T = 360 K
